RAX120 internet speeds slows when using the MGig port with a CM2000
When connecting from my new CM2000 to the RAX120 using the MGig port, my internet speed drops from 900Mps (800 Mps service) to 650Mps. The Nighthawk IOS app test speed says it's working, but my hardw...
Wow, thanks for letting us know and the details.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡
I see LAN 4 has something connected at 100Mpbs. What is this device?
Why is the router at 155.105.105.1?
What is the brand and model# of the ethernet adapter in this PC?

1. LAN 4 is connected to an Ooma VIOP. My testing has had this connected and not connected without any difference.
2. I change the router IP starting address for security reasons.
3. PC ethernet controller
4. There was an issue with the activation of the CM2000, but has been running fine as far as I can tell. Shows the white connection indicator when connected to the 1Gig WAN port and blue when connected to the MGig port.

Security by obscurity or what?
Unluckily, you selected n IPv4 address from a subnet I'm very familiar: This IP block belongs to the CHUV in Lausanne.... Certainly it's not your IP subnet you own or permitted to use.
Consult the RFC 1918 for permitted private IP LAN networks.
Thanks, didn't know that one. I can change those.
Any idea why the speed of the router LAN ports slow when when using the MGig port?

You should be using the modems WAN port with the MG port on the router. Since your ethernet adapter is only 1Gb, you should connect it to the 1Gb LAN port on the router.
Only valid and home user IP address ranges you should be using for home routers is 10.x, 172.x or 192.x
